There’s another map at http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/06_03/duckGPX2706_468x280.jpg
The real ducky is different from the ones illustrated here and elsewhere; ours squeek but evidently the others don’t.
“And because the toys are made of durable plastic and are sealed watertight, they have been able to survive years adrift at the mercy of the elements.”

The Bathtub has lots of references for people to follow up on.

“`Twas brillig, and the slithy toys
Did subArctic gyre and gimble on the wave:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.”
